If you are considering investing in Bali villas, either for the first time or to add one or more additional villas to your existing investment, several questions need to be answered before that can become a reality.
This will include matters such as how you are going to fund the investment. However, there is another key point that needs to be addressed, and that is the no small matter of choosing which location you want your villa to be in.
One of Bali’s biggest assets and attractions is that it has several wonderful locations, each with unique features, atmosphere, and reasons to live there, even if that is only for two weeks whilst on holiday.
Whilst holidaymakers will take their time to assess and decide where in Bali they wish to spend their holiday, for a Bali villas investor, the matter of choosing a location for a new property investment deserves even greater scrutiny.
Below we have highlighted five of the most popular locations in Bali for investing in villas along with some of the reasons for their popularity.
Canggu: We will start with Canggu for the simple reason that it is the most popular destination, not just for Bali villas investors, but for tourists too.
The fact that more holidaymakers make their way to Canggu more than any other Bali location is a sign that this is a location where investing in villas should see a healthy ROI. Cangue has an excellent mix of attractions and has seen lots of development recently.
It is also famous for its beach clubs, restaurants, and entertainment.
Sanur: For holidaymakers like families and retirees looking for a location that is not as hectic as some of the others, Sanur is a top choice.
Its beachfront is ideal for walking or cycling and although it has nightlife, it is more family-oriented. Investors are attracted to Sanur because villas are the ideal holiday residence for families and retired couples who want to have the freedom to come and go as they please, and thus rental enquiry numbers are high.
Seminyak: For investors who want to invest in the higher end of the market and rent out luxurious villas to more discerning holidaymakers, Seminyak is the place to go. It is a location famous for its restaurants, bars, and coffee shops and it also has a wide variety of shops.
Whilst the prices for villas in Seminyak are some of the highest due to their luxurious nature, that also means that premium rental fees can be charged.
Ubud: Ubud has a unique attraction for holidaymakers given its cultural heritage and its spiritual ambience.
For this reason, the visitors who are attracted to it include food aficionados, lovers of art, and those looking for a calm and relaxing holiday.
Given this background, Ubud has also become a popular honeymoon destination adding another group who will potentially be looking to rent a Bali villa.
Bukit Peninsula/Uluwatu: Although not as developed as some of the locations we have already mentioned, this is fast becoming a hugely popular destination, especially amongst those who love water sports.
Villa prices will not be as high as other locations meaning potential ROIs are significant plus rental incomes will be on an upward curve.
Add in the awesome beaches and some of the most stunning scenery in Bali, this is a location worth considering.
